why IIS3DWB timestamp values are zero ?

[mete]

I have timestamp counter enabled and batching to FIFO with decimation=1. I can see the timestamp values are interleaved with the accelerometer values, but the timestamp values are always 0 like this (this is SPI trace):

22 00 00 00 00 00 0A
12 32 F7 2F FC 9A 41
24 00 00 00 00 00 0A
14 DE F6 AE FC 94 43
27 00 00 00 00 00 0A
17 9B F6 3E FC 23 40
21 00 00 00 00 00 0A
11 EE F6 46 FC A6 42
22 00 00 00 00 00 0A
12 49 F7 54 FC 69 42

The last byte 0A contains I guess the BDL (1010), and tag sensor is 0x4 so it should be timestamp value but why does it contain only zeroes ?

Hi @mete ,

Can you share a reg dump? I need to see what are you writing in each register.

Thanks

Hi @Federica Bossi , sorry my mistake as expected, I miswrote the address of the register where timestamp counter is enabled.

Hi @mete and @Federica Bossi, I am not sure if it's ok to "reply" to a resolved topic but it seems to me I have a very similar issue with the iis2mdc magnetometer. I am able to get the values of the magnetic fields (along x,y,z) but the timestamp is always 0.

In your answers you talk about register addresses, could you please tell me where can I check these values? 

 

Thanks

The register addresses are in the datasheet but I do not see timestamping is mentioned for IIS2MDC.
